T. x. 521} אַדְמֹנִי עֶצֶם, compare Lam 4:7). מֵעִם₇₂ from with or beside (= παρὰ with a genitive: compare מֵאֵת): hence

חָסִיד adjective masculine kind, pious (so, as denoting active practice of חֶסֶד, kindness, Thes MV De and most, compare קָצִיר, פָּקִיד etc.; > Hup on Ps 4:4 RVm who explained as passive reception of ׳י's חֶסֶד, compare שָֹׂכֹיר, אָסִיר etc.; its use as attribute of God Jer 3:12; Ps 145:17, and the context Ps 12:1; Mic 7:2 etc., favour active sense) — ׳ח Ps 4:4 + 9 t.; חֲסִידֶ֑ךָ Deut 33:8; Ps 89:20 חֲסִידְי֯ךָ Ps 16:10 plural חֲסִידִים Ps 149:1; Ps 149:5 suffix חֲסִידָ֑י Ps 50:5 חֲסִידָו֯ 1Sam 2:9 + 15 t. suffixes; —

2. pious, godly, either as exhibition of 'duteous love' toward God (Che^{OP 378}), or (in view of rarity of such passages as Hos 6:4; Hos 6:6; Jer 2:2, and their possible ambiguity) because kindness, as prominent in the godly, comes to imply other attributes, and to be a designation of the godly character, piety:
a. as adjective — גּוֺי לא חסיד a nation, not pious, = ungodly Ps 43:1.
b. elsewhere as substantive: singular, a pious man, the godly Ps 4:4; Ps 12:2; Ps 32:6; Ps 86:2, || יָשָׁר Mic 7:2 (thy) pious one
